Take nothing away from Vidal's performance, though. He won every single encounter he was involved in, or at least very close to every single one. Barzagli also had a good game, and Bonucci did better in the second half.
Rest of the team were below par. Our left side is atrocious without Asamoah and Chiellini.

Terrible approach once again but this time around it was the worst I have seen from this Juve. The first half we did not have any idea on what to do, we simply sent the bal backwards and relied on long balls, the players were static and the defensive line was out of balance. Pirlo had a terrible first half and so the entire team followed his footsteps.
The second half started with a bit more energy where we could get on the scoresheet wirth a lucky deflection. Just after scoring we tried too hard to get back to the same way as the first half, then the nonchalance and calmness took over until Parma were able to hit on the break and there was no way we would get a goal back even with Vucinic's presence that "adds creativity" and "links the midfield with that attack".
I know we are always in a bad form in January but what worries me most is the form of certain key players. I haven't seen Pirlo play a good game since our Shaktar game, Barzagli seems to have found his Palermo/Wolfsburg form and Buffon seems to have stopped caring about TRYING to save let alone save anything.
Chiellini adds a lot to the defence but last season we seemed to cope without him if my memory serves me right. Asamoah was not with the team last season yet we went undefeated. Marchisio was also absent some games last season and I thought we improved the midfield with better players, namely Pogba.
There is no excuse for this terrible form, it's not the results it is the carelessness that has infected the entire team.

They only start caring 10 minutes before time. They are playing like arrogant pricks. We are at this moment not in the form to kill off the game while leading 1 goal, we should have instead gone for the second one. There was enough space in the period Parma was attacking with almost the entire team.. yet they don't even try to counterattack. In 2 weeks we gone from +8 to +3, it would be complete disgrace if we don't win the Scudetto 4/5 matches before the end, let alone not win it at all.
